- Penalty for Blank: If you leave a question with all five circles blank (you don’t answer and you don’t mark ‘E’), 1/3rd mark will be deducted as a penalty.
- Disqualification Rule: If you leave more than 10% of the total questions (i.e., 15 questions) completely blank (with no circle darkened), you will be disqualified from the entire exam.
